Postgraduate Research - Induction Information
Our Postgraduate Research induction for Mphil, MTh (Research), MFA/DFA, and PhD students.

The presentation will be available to you on the School of Critical Studies Resources Moodle and will contain key information on the structure of the PGR programme; what is expected of you as a PGR student at the University of Glasgow; and what you in turn can expect from the University.
The Welcome and Q&A session will take place on TBA
